PORTRAITURE, in history, portraits are made to primarily memorialized as well as immortalized the rich and the powerful. but now, portraits are made to honor the exceptional talents of an individual that brought inspirations and aspiration to many on the field they stood up.

To go for field that having just yourself as the weapon is the most challenging, passion versus passion, techniques over treatments, aesthetics over aesthetics. One should always look forward competitively.

aAt the end of the day, no matter how hard the competition is, it is an industry of all creative people who help each other, the exhibit is up for a silent bidding that night that all the proceeds would go to the House of Golden Gays Foundation.

Cheetah Rivera, wowed the crowd with her Finale collection on Project Runway Philippines S3!
Maximalist as they usually call her, enjoys the fabric treatments that is textured and avant garde.

I totally fell in love with her aesthetics, the first time we worked for a collab last Nov.2011 The Silent Heroes of Fadal Manila (where she was in the position of PRO ) , the portrayal of a fashionable Yaya (Nanny).

She got the 2nd place, while Milka Redoble won the title. Nel Claveria as the 3rd and Amor Albano as the 4th placer.

At Izumi, its always nice to see familiar faces in the industry.
